Gargoyles started off with a 3-4-3 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Kullenhult - Langeland, Morgansson, Blackburn - Ekmo, Öbratt, Slyngen, El-Nabil - Jackson, Manee, Ball.
Counter-attacking seemed to be the preferred strategy of Gargoyles, and they seem inadequate at it. A corner kick created great disorder in the penalty area, but at last Gargoyles´s Phakphoom Manee was able to shove the ball in. 0-1. 31 minutes into the game Danny Schreuder was really close to evening the score out with a dangerous long range shot, but the ball went just wide of the bar. Gargoyles showed their counterattack skill in the 34:th minute, with Mattias Öbratt scoring uncontested for 0 - 2. The teams went for a half-time break at 0 - 2. Fockers held the ball, with a clear 68 percent possession rate.
In the 53rd minute Per Lindhell passed through the guests central line of defense, scoring the 1 - 2 goal. Fockerss Roberto Leone got himself booked after a foul. Gargoyles were forced to a substitution as Eigil Slyngen couldn´t continue playing due to the rough treatment. Roberto Leone was just a finger´s breadth away from an equaliser for Fockers, but Torbjörn Kullenhult managed to ward the closing shot off for a corner. Elias Läfvengård received some harsh words from his coach after he acted foolishly, probably out of lack of experience, in the 75:th minute and almost caused an opponent to score. Yefim Bulygin made a superb strike at the goal in the 81st minute with a long shot coming in from straight in front of the goal, but one of the visitors defenders got a foot in and warded it off to a corner. The referee showed Gargoyless Bryce Jackson the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Hans Herbert Müller went down after a savage challenge, but could keep on playing after some medical attention. Fockers held the ball, with a clear 72 percent possession rate.
The most dominating Fockers player was without a doubt Elias Läfvengård. Roberto Leone was a disappointment, however. The most dominating Gargoyles player was without a doubt Torbjörn Kullenhult. Daniel Newsom on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 1 - 2.
